Nadal wins with physical problems and meets with Federer

Rafael Nadal surpassed Khachanov in two tough sets (7-6 and 7-6) and, after calling twice to the physio and with discomfort, he met with Federer in the semifinals.

Rafa suffered, and in what way. Not because of the sport, which defeated the young Russian Karen Khachanov in two sets (7-6 and 7-6), if not physical problems. Both sleeves were decided in the tie-break. In the first he won with suffering ... but in the second he took the epic . He called the physio on two occasions, received a bandage on that battered right knee and, with all that, managed to take the set the tie-break and won. In the semifinals Roger Federer expects ... if that knee allows it.
